Abstract: | Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have been used in high-thrust aircraft engines for many years to pro-vide thermal protection and increase engine efficiencies. TBC life requirements for aircraft engines are typically less than those required for industrial gas turbines. This paper describes current and future ap-plications of TBCs in industrial gas turbine engines. Early testing and applications of TBCs are reviewed. Areas of concern from the engine designer’s and materials engineer’s perspective are identified and evaluated. This paper focuses on the key factors that are expected to influence utilization of TBCs in ad-vanced industrial gas turbine engines. It is anticipated that reliable, durable, and highly effective coating systems will be produced that will ultimately improve engine efficiency and performance. |
